19.5: Capacitors and Dielectrics
As is the case with all capacitors, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor comprises two electrically conductive material layers that are separated by a dielectric layer. One electrode (the anode) is formed by an aluminum foil with an enlarged surface area. The oxide layer (Al2O3) that is built upon this is used as the dielectric.
